A young man choked on a chicken bone, causing a perforation of his small intestine, has just received emergency surgery by doctors.

News from Hoan My Cuu Long General Hospital on January 23 said that the hospital's doctors had just performed emergency surgery on a young man who had a chicken bone stuck in his throat, causing a perforation of his small intestine.

Previously, while eating, Mr. LPT (30 years old, living in Soc Trang ) unfortunately got a chicken bone stuck in his throat and bought medicine for 3 days but the pain did not go away. Afterwards, his family took him to the emergency room at Hoan My Cuu Long General Hospital in a state of fatigue, fever, bloating, diarrhea, accompanied by severe pain above the navel, the pain increasing day by day.

Chicken bone fragments were removed by surgeons.

After examination and paraclinical examination, abdominal MSCT results detected a radiopaque foreign body measuring 4 x 12 mm, penetrating the wall of the ileal loop in the right iliac fossa, the ileal loop wall was thick, edematous, and infiltrated with surrounding fat. The ileum occupied about half of the lower length of the small intestine.

After consultation, the patient was scheduled for emergency surgery to remove a piece of small intestine to remove the foreign object, a piece of chicken bone. After surgery, the patient recovered quickly, the pain was completely gone, and he was able to eat and drink normally.

Master - Doctor Nguyen Huu Ky Phuong, Deputy Head of the Department of Gastroenterology, Hoan My Cuu Long General Hospital, recommends that people who suspect they have a bone stuck in their throat should go to a medical facility for examination. When detecting an abnormality in the body, even if it is just a mild but prolonged abdominal pain, they should go for an early examination. Absolutely do not try to swallow more food, water or treat it with folk remedies, because it will damage the digestive tract mucosa, making the disease worse.
